Re: Gene Malkoff Going at it Full Time w/New Additions

Yes, I got an email too. This is good news for those who have been waiting for Malkoff drop ins. Lets try to endorse Gene's products to other "unenlightened" friends or relatives of ours, so he will not run out of customers.

Re: Gene Malkoff Going at it Full Time w/New Additions

I just sent an email to Gene and Cathy and I hope everyone else who has one or more of Gene's wonderful drop-ins continue to support him. As stated above. With better availability, I see cool, unique birthday, Christmas, and special thank you gifts for friends and family.

If you consider your time, effort, and materials you may or may not use to built anything close to what Gene does, it just makes more sense to get a top quality product that is worth every penny in realiability and confidence. That's why my first drop-in went to the wife....ok, not, she is getting the second on once I use that Duracoat stuff for a pretty lanvender M@glight!!

This is the e-mail Gene sent out to everyone that was on his mailing list.

Hello All,
Just some news on recent developments in Malkoff Devices:
I have officially turned in my notice at my &amp;quot;real&amp;quot; job and
will be attacking this full time. December 10 is the official date. This
was done after much serious contemplation and prayer. My wife is on board
and it was actually her suggestion. This is a first as she generally
regards my projects as nutty and sometimes entertaining. The electric
squirrel shocking bird feeder was one of these famed projects. 300 VDC will
discourage the squirrels and is fodder for some serious entertainment.
However it does not impress the wife.
With that said, I have managed to broker deals with some good suppliers. By
mid December I should have enough materials to manufacture several hundred
Mag C, D, and M60 dropins. I will have Q5 WG binned Crees for the M60.
Output will be 220+ lumens for approx 2 hrs. I will have a low output
version of 130 lumens for 6 hrs on 2 primary CR123's.
I have designed a new driver for the Mag dropins that will allow for 1000ma
on 4,5, or 6 cells. I've had a lot of demand for this particular
configuration. And yes, you can use 2 rechargeable Li-ion cells. Any
battery combinations up to 9v total.
Hopefully by mid December everything will be available. It is my goal to
keep most all the Malkoff Devices in stock at all times. Wish me Luck!
Thanks,
Gene Malkoffwww.malkoffdevices.com
